Pugwash

Once again, no we haven't. Everything below us on the food chain will be brutally killed at some point. You've just picked on dogs because you like them. Where were you when seal-clubbing came to the fore? Where are you on the whaling issues? If you stopped just picking on dogs for your attention, you'd have a hell of a lot more credibility.

Needs must. I needed a 3719, see.

There is no single 21-jewel movement. We use the term to cover all non-branded non-complication asian movements.

I wonder if his predicament has changed anyone's minds on the stupidity of insurance-driven medicine.

The rep is exactly the same size as the gen. The main difference, apart from the subdials, is the crystal. Most gens have a heavily domed heselite crystal. The Seagull ST19 movement in the rep is amazing. I miss my old rep, but I'm hunting a gen now.

Horses even more so, but they're legal meat in parts of Europe. I mean talk about animal intelligence and look at tuna farming. We're killing dolphins there, and the Japanese are still killing whales for meat with no thought for cruelty. Even Mike Huckabee fries squirrel in a popcorn popper, and he's in gubmint. The only meat universally banned is long pig. Anything else is going to get cruelly killed somewhere in the world.

Seeing as I can no longer wear my Noobmariner as it now belongs to LordRasta, it's time for something different. Fugly Brute time!

That too is acceptable. No apology necessary. If you hadn't PMed me, I wouldn't have known this was going on as I have been very busy the last week.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with that.

Steady on there, chap! Not donating money to charity should not be treated with scorn. Collecting shonky watches doesn't come with a financial obligation. Praise those who take part instead of bringing down those who don't.

That's no G-Whiz. That's a Smart, designed by Swatch and made by Mercedes. While they would not be a huge success in the US, they're a winner in the European capitals where people have different tastes and priorities.

Precisely. When society accepts one kind of animal as a pest or food, sometimes it is going to get brutally mistreated.

Let's not imply I had any part in this whole episode. I've already been accused of taking part or being influential in the suspension/banning.

Long time no see!

I agree. It'll go for over

Omega Speedmaster Pro: Apollo 13, Right Stuff, From the Earth to the Moon (and every other Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronaut movie made)

Once you decided to eat something, it's going to die. Sometimes this is brutal. It's precisely the point.

I'm done in the religious aspects of this thread. Go ahead, you can pretend you won. In France, they eat Horse. In the UK, they think this is an abomination. In Yakutsk, they wear fur and would die without it. In several countries this is considered an abomination. Nobody is right all the time.

Me neither! Anyway, in honour of the POTR auctions, here's what I'm wearing, for the last time ever. This wrist shot is from 24th March, 2006 and was the first I ever posted to a forum. Note lack of pearl, necessitating the replacement bezel insert, as seen here on 16th April, 2006.

Please break up your text so as to make that possible. Are you missing something? Sure. You're missing the part that you're part of nature/evolution. Religion was invented by man as a means of defining right and wrong. It evolved. We no longer need it to project what's right or wrong, however. Strawman, Godwins, etc. You're missing one huge point. Humanity. We're human, we have feelings of right and wrong. We feel compassion. We want to be good. More killings have been done in the name of religion than under any other cause, and I feel strongly enough about the lives of people I've never met that this annoys me. On the flip side, using your argument, Religious people shouldn't care about the environment because God gave us this oil and put these trees here for us to use. We'll never run out because God will make sure of it. Global warming isn't a problem because God regulates the temperature, not the consumption of rotted dinosaurs (that never existed anyway) or our presence. Let's kill whales, endangered species and heathens as God put them there for us to use as we see fit. See how easy it is to completely miss the point? Atheists still care. We still hate cruelty to animals and people. The sooner you stop seeing us as Darwin-worshipers and stop treating Atheism as a religion, the sooner you'll understand us.

No single company can play that for a win.

We care. Just because I don't believe in God, it doesn't make me a rapist. I resent the implication it does. You don't need God to know what's right and what's wrong.

That would assume all the pharmaceutical companies (you know, the ones with fierce rivalries and industrial espionage) would have to agree to it. The first to make a cure would put their competition out of the treatments market. It'd be a license to print money at the expense of your rivals. In other words, not a chance.

From time to time, some young kid, usually of asian origin, will pop up having mastered something seemingly trivial. Here we see Jake Shimabukuro pwning the Ukelele.

Best of luck! I wish I could help out more.
